All the other fish look fine and the Parameters are all good. We've had this tank for 2 years and I've been in this hobby for 10 years and have never seen this type of behavior.

I took a video of him tonight so see if anyone has any suggestions on what could be wrong with him.

Do you think maybe it's a blockage? Any insight would be appreciated.

Swim bladder problem maybe?
Good luck with him.. Hs a beautiful fish

Have you treated for flukes recently? I would give him a dip in some prazi-pro.

We freshwater dipped him and force fed him peas, nothing worked...RIP Lionfish

We live in a small town where Prazi Pro was not available We plan on getting some though for the next time.
